Who are the haters? A corpus-based demographic analysis of authors of hate speech.

Introduction: We examine the profiles of hate speech authors in a multilingual dataset of Facebook reactions to news posts discussing topics related to migrants and the LGBT+ community. The included languages are English, Dutch, Slovenian, and Croatian.

Methods: First, all utterances were manually annotated as hateful or acceptable speech.

The ParlaMint corpora of parliamentary proceedings.

The corpora are uniformly encoded, contain rich meta-data about 11 thousand speakers, and are linguistically annotated following the Universal Dependencies formalism and with named entities. Samples of the corpora and conversion scripts are available from the project's GitHub repository, and the complete corpora are openly available via the CLARIN.

Child health-related quality of life following neurocritical care for traumatic brain injury: an analysis of preference-weighted outcomes.

Background: Cost-effectiveness analysis relies on preference-weighted health outcome measures as they form the basis for quality adjusted life years. Studies of preference-weighted outcomes for children following traumatic brain injury are lacking.

Objective: This study seeks to describe the preference-weighted health outcomes of children following a traumatic brain injury at 3- and 6-months following pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) discharge.

Variation in pediatric intensive care therapies and outcomes by race, gender, and insurance status.

Context: The differential allocation of medical resources to adult patients according to characteristics such as race, gender, and insurance status raises the serious concern that such issues apply to critically ill children as well.

Objective: This study examined whether medical resources and outcomes for children admitted to pediatric intensive care units differed according to race, gender, or insurance status.

Design: An observational analysis was conducted with use of prospectively collected data from a multicenter cohort.

Hospitalizations for critically ill children with traumatic brain injuries: a longitudinal analysis.

Objective: This study examines the incidence, utilization of procedures, and outcomes for critically ill children hospitalized with traumatic brain injury over the period 1988-1999 to describe the benefits of improved treatment.

Design: Retrospective analysis of hospital discharges was conducted using data from the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample that approximates a 20% sample of U.S.

Leadership trends in academic pediatric departments.

Objective: To examine recent turnover trends among chairs of academic pediatric departments.

Methods: Membership data for the 150 institutions represented by the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were reviewed for the time period of 1993-2003.

Results: From 1993 to 2003, 278 individuals (250 men and 28 women) held the position of chair.

The increasing threat of personal watercraft injuries.

A trend of increasing number and severity of injuries associated with use of personal watercraft (PWC) has been noted as the use and popularity of PWC also rises. The rate of injuries secondary to PWC use is greater than that from other water sports. Multiple etiologies of injury have been reported, including closed head trauma, spinal injuries, facial fractures, chest trauma, abdominal injuries, and drowning.

Variation in therapy and outcome for pediatric head trauma patients.

Objective: This study was undertaken to examine variation in therapies and outcome for pediatric head trauma patients by patient characteristics and by pediatric intensive care unit. Specifically, the study was designed to examine severity of illness on admission to the pediatric intensive care unit, the therapies used during the pediatric intensive care unit stay, and patient outcomes.

Data Sources And Setting: Consecutive admissions from three pediatric intensive care units were recorded prospectively (n = 5,749).

Relationship of pediatric overall performance category and pediatric cerebral performance category scores at pediatric intensive care unit discharge with outcome measures collected at hospital discharge and 1- and 6-month follow-up assessments.

Objective: Given the current focus on outcomes, there is a crucial need for easily utilized measures that can effectively quantify morbidity or disability after a child's critical illness or injury. The purpose of this study is to significantly extend the research on two such promising measures: the Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) and the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC).

Design: Cross-sectional analysis of a sample of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) discharges and a prospective follow-up of this cohort of children.

Volume-outcome relationships in pediatric intensive care units.

Context: Pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) have expanded nationally, yet few studies have examined the potential impact of regionalization and no study has demonstrated whether a relationship between patient volume and outcome exists in these units. Documentation of an inverse relationship between volume and outcome has important implications for regionalization of care.

Objectives: This study examines relationships between the volume of patients and other unit characteristics on patient outcomes in PICUs.

Relationship of illness severity and length of stay to functional outcomes in the pediatric intensive care unit: a multi-institutional study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish relationships between illness severity, length of stay, and functional outcomes in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) by using multi-institutional data. We hypothesized that a positive relationship exists between functional outcome scores, severity of illness, and length of stay.

Design: The study used a prospective multicentered inception cohort design.

Differences in pediatric ICU mortality risk over time.

Objectives: To compare pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) mortality risk using models from two distinct time periods; and to discuss the implications of changing mortality risk for severity systems and quality-of-care assessment.

Data Sources And Setting: Consecutive admissions (n = 10,833) from 16 pediatric ICUs across the United States that participate in the Pediatric Critical Care Study Group were recorded prospectively. Data collection occurred during a 12-mo period beginning in January 1993.

Differentiation of systemic infection and congenital obstructive left heart disease in the very young infant.

Background: The differentiation of severe systemic infection, such as sepsis or meningitis, from a congenital obstructive left heart abnormality presents a unique challenge to clinicians responsible for the care of such infants in the first few weeks of life. Clinical findings are very similar in the two populations. Failure to identify the need for specific intervention, such as prostaglandin administration, by the primary care or emergency physician may result in increased morbidity or death in these infants.

Decomplexification in critical illness and injury: relationship between heart rate variability, severity of illness, and outcome.

Objectives: To determine if decomplexification of heart rate dynamics occurs in critically ill and injured pediatric patients. We hypothesized that heart rate power spectra, a measure of heart rate dynamics, would inversely correlate with measures of severity of illness and outcome.

Design: A prospective clinical study.

Long-term functional outcome of inpatient pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Objective: There is limited information published regarding the long-term outcome of pediatric survivors of inpatient cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The purpose of this study was to document the long-term (i.e.

Tibial length following intraosseous infusion: a prospective, radiographic analysis.

Intraosseous infusion is a well accepted means of obtaining emergency intravascular access in children. Despite the low incidence of serious complications from intraosseous infusions, the potential exists for growth plate injury and subsequent growth disturbance following intraosseous infusion. We conducted a prospective, blinded observational study of 10 subjects to evaluate tibial length discrepancy radiographically one year or more following intraosseous infusion.

Prediction of three outcome states from pediatric intensive care.

Objective: To develop a method based on admission day data for predicting patient outcome status as independently functional, compromised functional, or dead.

Design: Prospectively acquired development and validation samples.

Setting: A pediatric intensive care unit located in a tertiary care center.
